Dry eye syndrome is a common and often chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes feeling dry, irritated, and uncomfortable. This condition can have a significant impact on your quality of life, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks, such as reading, using a computer, or even driving. Understanding the causes of dry eye syndrome is the first step in finding the right treatment approach for your specific needs.
As a parent, you want to ensure your child's overall well-being, including their vision health. Regular pediatric eye exams are crucial for identifying and addressing any vision-related issues early on. These comprehensive examinations not only assess your child's current vision but also provide valuable insights into their visual development and potential future needs. Investing in a pediatric eye exam before the start of the school year can make a significant difference in your child's learning, development, and overall success.

Do your contact lenses keep slipping out of your eyes? Are you still facing issues with your vision even after getting contact lenses? If yes, you may have keratoconus.
